While there are over-the-counter wart removal kits available, more often than not, you’ll want to have your warts removed by a doctor, especially if this is the first time you or your child has experienced a wart. 

Warts develop from the human papilloma virus (HPV) of which there are hundreds of different types. Warts are spread through casual topical contact and are mostly found on the feet, hands, fingers, and face. 

If you have warts, especially on your fingers, which can be a sign of periungual and subungual warts (warts that occur around and under the fingernails), you must see a doctor to have these removed. If subungual and periungual warts are left untreated, they can cause a fungal infection in the nail bed which can leave permanent damage.
